MINNEAPOLIS, May 3O.-No event since
the Sullivan-Cardiff fight has caused so
much interest as the fight between Tommy
Warren, of Louisville, the champion
feather-weight pugllist, and Tommy Dan
forth, of New York, to take place at the

ter is little broader across the shoulders
than Warren. The men were weighed this
morning. Warren tipped the scales at
11S14, and Danforth at l194. The articles
of agreement called for fifteen rounds with
two ounce gloves, Marquis of Queensbury

fight at the end of the fifteenth round was to
be declared the winner. The fight was for a
purse of 5000 and the entire gate receipts,
the winner to take all.

principals appeared. War:eH was seconded
by Patsy Cardiff and John Donaldson, and
Danforth by John p. Glow and Daniel

ten rounds the men were pretty evenly
matched, and it was give and take, with the
odds, il anything, in favor of Warren.

ly beaten, but he fought gsmely 10 the end,
when be was laid out for good by a blow
on the jugular.
